You can always look at the sticker under your phones battery. Its not always correct 
sometimes it is MADE BY NOKIA
Here in Australia, other than companies acquiring their own Australian business toll free numbers, business owners have their individual Nokia devices for communication purposes. It is good to see how Nokia have revolutionized mobile communication.
